Redmi K70E review: inheriting the legacy of 1999 and building Redmi glory

After the e-sports version was cancelled, Redmi added a new product line called "E" series every year. If you look closely, this product line seems to be the line of Xiaomi in 1999. Although it may be that everyone's All the attention is on the standard and Pro versions of the K series, but the more affordable E series product line seems to be a product with very good sales in the offline market.

K70E continues the style of the entire K70 series in appearance design this year, although some compromises have been made due to cost considerations in terms of body material and some configurations. For users like me, having a metal frame paired with a plastic back shell doesn’t have much of an impact. On the contrary, it reduces the weight, which I think is actually a good thing.

The white plastic back shell of the K70E we got feels very comfortable in the hand, and what is even more impressive is that it presents a jade-like texture under the illumination of light, which makes me Really like it.

The model we received this time is the Redmi K70E 16GB 1TB version, so all the content below is based on this version. The specific configuration parameters of the machine are as follows:

1. Performance

This year’s Redmi K70E brings the world’s first MediaTek Dimensity 8300 processor. Our actual test scores are very good, especially for Redmi As a product priced at around 2,000 yuan, K70E can already achieve both configuration, appearance and feel, which is very rare.

The running score of this 16GB 1TB version Redmi K70E is 1466009 points, the CPU score is 315081, and the GPU score is 548651; in the storage test, the random read speed is 2426.3MB/s, and the random write speed is 2426.3MB/s. is 2935.3MB/s, and the total score is 134394 points.

Redmi continues its in-depth cooperation with MediaTek this time, bringing Dimensity 8300-Ultra, an exclusive customized Dimensity flagship platform processor, which is based on Dimensity 9 The Dimensity 8 series, which has been redesigned with the thinking of the Dimensity 9 series, inherits many advanced flagship features from the Dimensity 9 series, and proactively gives it super AI specifications.

CPU: 1*A715 @ 3.35GHz 3*A715 @ 3.2GHz 4*A510 @ 2.2GHz. Compared with the previous generation, the performance is improved by 20% and the power consumption is saved by 30%.

GPU: Mali G615 MC6, compared with the previous generation, the peak performance is increased by 60% and the power consumption is saved by 55%

It adopts the flagship TSMC 4nm process technology, and both ISP and APU adopt the flagship Dimensity 9300 The memory specifications of the same generation architecture have also been upgraded to the flagship level, supporting LPDDR5X UFS 40 MCQ.

If you are not a fan of chasing flagships, then Dimensity 8300 is really a very good choice.

2. Appearance

On the outer packaging box, Redmi K70E also continues the previous style, with the main color of black and gold, but this time the words Xiaomi HyperOS are added to the side of the box, announcing Xiaomi The addition of self-developed OS.

The mobile phone box also comes with three basic things: data cable, charging head, and mobile phone case. There is not much to say. The charging head is equipped with 90W, which is at the same level as Xiaomi Mi 13 Ultra. Recharged.

Redmi K70E uses a 6.67-inch flexible OLED on the front with a resolution of 1220*2712 (1.5K), PPI 446120Hz refresh rate 480Hz touch sampling rate (instantaneous 2160Hz) brightness 500 (typ) /1200 (hbm) /1800 (peak), 1920Hz PWM dimming, 12bit color depth, 100% P3 color gamut, multiple screens with the same color, primary color screen (JNCD~0.31).

The official description of this screen is that it inherits Redmi’s excellent color and eye protection performance. The 12-bit deep color screen has been calibrated by the factory and supports multiple screens of the same color. The color accuracy reaches Delta Ex0.43 and JNCN0.31. Professional level performance. In terms of eye protection, it has hardware-level low blue light, 1920Hz high-frequency PWM dimming and more intelligent automatic brightness management capabilities. It also has a new rhythm eye protection mode. With the support of software and hardware eye protection, it has also passed the China Quality Certification Center for visual health and friendliness. Degree S certification.

What I want to say is that for the current moment, everything should be canceled with straight screens and narrow borders. Mobile phones with plastic brackets should be given unconditional praise. 2024 will definitely be the year when straight-screen mobile phones explode. The hyperboloid screen that everyone hates will slowly disappear from the new phones that are gradually released now.

In terms of lens configuration, Redmi K70E uses the same camera module design as the K70 standard version and Pro version. The image is a 64-megapixel triple camera, the main camera is OV64B, and supports four-pixel combination - 1.4um pixels , equipped with Xiaomi Imaging Brain's deep empowerment and full-scenario OIS optical image stabilization, enabling more exciting moments in low-light environments.

K70E adopts a new "unbounded aesthetics" design language this time, which brings an industry first The frameless extra-large glass Deco and integrated suspended design bring a more transparent and simple initial effect. The entire glass Deco is deeply customized, with a thickness of 1.3mm, and has been strengthened twice, achieving an excellent balance between visual improvement and reliability. The edge of the glass and the back cover of the fuselage achieves a clever and complete curvature edge and an elegant hyperbolic arc. The three cameras and flash are integrated into one through a metal ring with a uniform shape, simplifying the visual hierarchy of the camera. The metal camera ring also has an extremely narrow inner C-angle and is anodized in different colors. The four-ring bright edges of the same color as the body serve as a shallow decoration and are full of details.

Although the K70E has a plastic body and plastic frame, as the old saying goes, it reduces the weight of the body and optimizes heat dissipation. The grip of the palm is also better, not to mention that its price is expected to be It only costs about 2,000 yuan, but it will become the only choice for many people.

##3. Game

天环As MediaTek’s new high-end processor to compete with the Snapdragon 7 series, 8300’s performance in games is naturally what we are most looking forward to. So without further ado, let’s start testing “Genshin Impact” directly.

Under the conditions of Full HD 60 frame quality and the performance mode of the phone turned on, the power consumption of "Genshin Impact" for 30 minutes was 14%, the maximum temperature of the front of the phone screen was 47.9, and the maximum temperature of the back shell was 45.6.

We used kite to test the game graphics and smoothness. The frame rate of "Genshin Impact" for half an hour was 57.21 frames.

The performance of Dimensity 8300 is still capable of playing "Genshin Impact". At present, after opening Fontainebleau in the mobile version of Genshin Impact, five countries and map areas have also been added. It is under the sea, so the load on the mobile phone is greater. It is estimated that the minimum level product now is Dimensity 8300 to be used at 60 frames of high image quality. If it is lower, the frame rate may be lowered, otherwise the mobile phone It’s really a bit overwhelming. You can see from the frame rate chart that the frame rate fluctuated quite a bit when I was fighting some monsters.

After "Genshin Impact" we will test "Peace Elite". Personally, I am not worried about this game at all, because it can definitely run at 90 frames. Fortunately, the K70E of Dimensity 8300 can win the game. It also supports a smooth 90-frame picture quality experience.

30 minutes of game time, the game quality is smooth 90 frames mode, the system also turns on the performance mode, the power consumption of Redmi K70E is 9%, the game frame rate is 90.15, the entire game experience is also very good , it goes without saying that the smoothness is outstanding. After half an hour, the front screen temperature of the phone was 40.0, and the back shell temperature was 37.8. MediaTek has always been excellent in controlling heat.

After winning these two games, how does the Dimensity 8300 perform in common games? Everyone already knows that Dimensity 8300 has a good experience in both running scores and games.

4. Battery life and fast charging

In terms of charging, Redmi K70E still uses the same 90W fast charging as its flagship Xiaomi 13 Ultra. The battery capacity of the machine is 5500mAh. In fact, I already knew this combination before charging. It will definitely take more than 30 minutes. Xiaomi's 67W and 90W are actually almost the same, but 120W is already a qualitative change. However, for products in this price range, 90W The numbers are worth it too.

After actual testing, charging is performed when the remaining power is 5%. It can be charged to 40% in 10 minutes, to 62% in 20 minutes, and it takes 40 minutes to fully charge. This data is actually a bit unsatisfactory to me. After all, there are products at the same price that are much faster, and they will reach the 2024 mark soon. Even for a product priced around 2,000 yuan, the fast charging time should not start at 4. I hope the next generation will improve this and make 120W more comprehensive.

##5. Taking pictures

I actually don’t have the camera and photography of Redmi K70E. I had high hopes. After all, with such good looks, performance, and feel in this price range, I already thought it was a great value. But Redmi still surprised me with the sample photos.

The main camera of this machine is the OV64B that we are very familiar with, and it has OIS optical anti-shake. Under this hardware condition, the photo sample performance of Redmi K70E is as follows:

# It can be seen that the Redmi K70E can restore colors very well and with high realism, and it can add some visual comfort to the afternoon sunset. I don’t know if this is the adjustment of the algorithm. Anyway, it is me expelling the tops of the leaves. When I took that photo, I was really shocked. I thought it couldn't be the effect it took. It was already a transcendent performance.

In addition, the Redmi K70E also performs very well at the telephoto end. For such a price, the sample can still have this effect. I can only say that this time the K70E gives too much.

Summary

Let’s not talk about what everyone thinks about the Redmi K70E. Personally, I really like it. I am used to seeing and using flagship phones. After taking the phone, I suddenly saw a rare "extremely balanced" product on a mid-range phone.

Straight screens should really come back. Hyperboloids appear to hide the border effect. Now that we have canceled plastic brackets and can provide higher quality screens, hyperboloids should be taken for granted. Withdraw from the market and let the direct screen return. Direct screen is the right way.

But if you are worried that the straight screen will not feel good in the hand, then you can also take a look at the K70E. Its back shell and the frame of the fuselage have been adjusted in curvature. The entire machine feels very good to hold and has strong integration. , the key is that the white color of the entire body is very uniform. When you think that mobile phones in the 2,000 yuan price range are destined for the offline market and fans, Redmi uses K70E this year to tell you that it can also combine texture, beauty and performance.
